    This is a poignant, enthralling tale of a doctor who, due to the ghosts of his past is forced to abandon one of his twin infants , born with Down's Syndrome.Although the contemporary world may find it shocking and ruthless, the novel takes us through the travails of raising a special child during the era of the 60s and the 70s.Wonderfully compiled and narrated, the fiction is heart wrenching tale of the father who is haunted by the guilt of giving away the child he has borne and the gumption of the nurse who raises the child as her own.The story has been eulogized by the literati for its sensitivity and depth.Its truly a worthy read ...
